It usually depends on the color of the plastic, but sometimes yes. Usually this is not a big deal for me as I paint most of my models, but in the case of something like Figure-Rise or Sodo where it's detail paint instead of a top to bottom, your mileage may vary. If you're going to try it for the first time I'd suggest somewhere that isn't going to be very visible. It's also import to find fine toothed files or fine grain sand paper because something coarser is going to leave the plastic just looking scratched up.

It's also my suggestion that taking your time with this is key, don't worry about hogging away a bunch of material at once, just slowly smooth it down.
